Drums. There's obviously nothing like good drums. When you hear that crack of a snare that turns your face into mud, or the thump of a kick that sounds like the heartbeat of a whale, it can be orgasmic for people like us. The bones, the skeleton of the beat. The driving force behind what keeps your neighbors mad at you at night. The shit is great.
Dirt in The Cracks Drum Kit WAV
I've been asked a thousand times when I'm going to give the beatmakers another drum kit. Honestly, I don't HAVE another drum kit. I don't sit and put together different drum kits like other producers. I just don't. I have a folder...of good dirty ass drum sounds. Pretty standard. But, what I can do this time around, is share with you a continuation of the first kit, a second volume if you will. These are just my drums. Everything I believe in remains the same. Consistency, simplicity, and reliability through sound. I still gravitate towards these couple hundred drum sounds to this day. They've worked from the start, and continue to help maintain my sound.

The Dirty Drummer is back with more thumpingly filthy finger drumming kits for all MPC models! Volume 3 continues the Dirty Drummer tradition with 2 fully dynamic multisampled acoustic kits and 12 additional patches/snapshots, oozing with grit, crunch and warmth, featuring round robin 'cycle' kits that allow you to produce uncannily realistic dusty breaks.
It doesn't matter which MPC model you own as we've created individually optimised program files for all of them! First up there's a dedicated 'standalone' expansion version for the MPC X,MPC Live, MPC One, MPC Key 61 and Akai Force and an expansion installer for the MPC Software/MPC Beats. The expansion editions feature 14 patches in total and 14 MIDI drum patterns which you can use to generate beats with all the kits.
Absolutely no configuration is needed, simply load the program file made for your MPC model; all samples are mapped out for you in a very finger drumming friendly way, plus all mixer settings and pad parameters pre-tweaked for you. And Dirty Drummer 3 uses the exact same kit layout as all previous Dirty Drummer volumes, making it easy to mix-and-match kits and sequences.
Unlike most drum kits which only contain a single 'hit' for each instrument, this kit contains multiple timbres for each instrument articulation ('round robins'). These different timbres are played back on each pad and we've also placed a short snare roll and dedicated 'soft' notes to their own pads which is perfect for easily adding funky 'ghost' notes when finger drumming.
These kits work in all MPCs, and where required, we have adjusted the layout and functionality to accommodate the different features of different MPCs. For example, the MPC500 has only 12 pads, so the layout of the drums were changed and optimised accordingly.
"I mainly write with drum loops and usually need to add a bunch of room sound, saturation, or reverb to get them to have human feel. With Cult Drum Sounds, I was writing a new song immediately after importing the loops. They got great sounds while still capturing the human element. Their loops and samples are the opposite of sterile."
"The 1960 sample pack made me forget all my other drum instrument plugins. It is literally a dream for everyone that wants that analog vintage super warm sound like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones or simply the new indie bands."
